As quoted from the linked post.

It looks like you’re part of one of our experiments. The logged-in mobile web experience is currently unavailable for a portion of users. To access the site you can log on via desktop, the mobile apps, or wait for the experiment to conclude.

This is separate from the API issue. This will actually BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

It may be separate from the API issue, but the purpose is still the same: to monetize your eyeballs at the expense of everything else.

Holy cow, how is reddit even making itself worse minute by minute...

That will end well. /s

The default site literally doesn't work on mobile anyway so it's not like it makes much difference.

Lmfao looks like they're making it easier for the fediverse to have a chance

Whelp it was a good run with Reddit. But their app is trash and now experimenting blocking browser access is bullshit. That may be the final straw that convinced me to delete my account.

Yeah I was planning on using brave if I ever needed to access reddit on my phone now... this is not good. I refuse to use their terrible app.

Never understood this on Reddit either... What's the difference between "Top" and "Hot"?

Reddit is officially on a bankruptcy speedrun.
